Melon and berries unite for a sweet celebration! Fresh, juicy cantaloupe is intensified in sweetness from the water kefir fermentation. Hawthorn berries offer a delicate berry flavor. As always, there is no sugar added – just pureed cantaloupe, hawthorn berry infusion, and fermented water kefir. Simple ingredients, yet powerful. Hawthorn berries boast a long list of beneficial properties and traditional uses for the heart. A delicious treat to nourish your wellbeing. Hydrating your health should be enjoyable! I chose this flavor for the nutritional and medicinal possibilities.
Cantaloupe
- one of the highest sources of beta-carotene (a carotenoid that is converted into vitamin A to produce white blood cells or acts as a powerful antioxidant to help fight free radicals that attack cells in your body)
- excellent sources of vitamin C, which boosts collagen production and the immune system performance
- rich in natural folate (reduces the risk of some cancers and addresses memory loss due to aging)
- high in fiber, which aids weight loss and bowel regularity
- powerful electrolyte (high in potassium) and therefore best to replenish lost fluids after sweating from a workout or hot-weather day
- zeaxanthin and carotenoids present in cantaloupe improve vision and reduce the risk of cataracts and macular degeneration

- regulates blood pressure
- phytonutrients boost immunity, help fight off diseases, and are anti-inflammatory
